Chapter 395: Another Special Bloodline

    

t saw Old Xiao and that woman taking Xiao's family out the back door.""What!" Qin Luoyan was startled, and quickly followed Lao Liu towards the back door. "How long have they been gone Can we catch up..."We can't let people go, of course... but... don't you want to know why the officials brought the owner of the Qiyuan Pharmacy here" A mysterious glint appeared in Yin Qi's eyes. 。Qin Luoyan was taken aback, carefully pondering for a moment before arriving at a conclusion that even surprised her. "The owner of the Strange Medicine Shop has that particular medicinal herb on them. They brought people here, could it be related to that herb Perhaps even those who need the herb to save their lives would come here" "You're truly intelligent, not like a woman at all" 。Yin Qi nodded, tacitly acknowledging her guess. 。A compelling answer was brewing in Qin Luoyan's mind, but it was so unbelievable that she hesitated to guess, to think, to speak. 。Perhaps, it's really just as you think, so we only need to wait ahead of time at the main courtyard. I believe that someone will come to give us an answer soon. 。Yin Qi slowly loosened Qin Luo Yan, and walked past her. 。Qin Luoyan came back to her senses and followed him, but the unease in her heart had already been replaced by shock. 。Some things, aren't they already destined by fate But if it were really as she imagined, then fate would seem too dramatic. 。The main courtyard and side rooms of Zhuangzi were not far apart. One had to pass through a garden and two corridors to get there. It was dark at night, and there were few lanterns in the courtyard, so the three men walking along the path did not attract attention from others, which made the courtyard seem even more deserted. 。However, to their surprise, the main hall of this mansion seemed in worse condition than the guest rooms. As soon as they reached the door, a foul smell wafted out from the courtyard. 。The charioteer was very nimble, with one hand carrying Qin Luoyan and Yin Qi each, he climbed up the courtyard wall. With another deft leap, he landed in the courtyard. 。The courtyard looked very dilapidated. Apart from a well that still showed signs of use, everything else seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard had withered and lost their color. 。The coachman pulled the two people up onto the roof of one of the rooms with a powerful leap. He seemed very familiar with this kind of thing, carefully steadying their figures before bending down to pry open a tile. Through the gap in the tiles, you could see inside the room from above. 。

Ten or so women were crammed onto a cot, the bedding was old and patched, barely better than what a beggar would use. The older women were already in their fifties, the younger close to thirty. But they had all once been favored by the Emperor, and each woman's face still bore traces of her youthful beauty. Especially those slightly younger ones, despite the wear of time, their eyebrows and eyes still held seven points of loveliness.

Such people, with a little refinement, could indeed attract the attention of men. No wonder those guards had their eyes on them. 。The women in the room were silent, going about their tasks like automatons. Only two younger ones huddled together, though they didn't speak, their eyes kept darting towards the door. 。After about half an hour, someone came to the courtyard. 。The guards who had brought in the three men from Yin Qi earlier led several more people in. The first few were masked, obscuring their faces. However, the one at the front was imposing, with piercing eyes and a commanding presence as he walked. It was clear at a glance that he was a warrior. 。Behind him seemed to be his attendants, two attendants followed by a middle-aged man whose temperament was different from these people. The middle-aged man had no mask on his face, his features were handsome, and he walked with light steps, he should be a martial arts master. He carried an infant who was barely breathing. When he entered the room, he glanced towards the roof, but said nothing, just followed the others into the room. 。At a single glance, Qin Luoyan recognized the child on the middle-aged man's back. It was none other than Yisheng, the child she had been desperately searching for, the one she considered her younger brother. 。More than a year had passed, and Yixing had grown taller. His brows and eyes were more open, giving him the appearance of a young man. However, his face was pale, and his eyes were closed. He seemed lifeless. 。Qin Luoyan nervously clenched her sleeves, biting her lower lip to try and calm herself down. 。After a few people entered the courtyard, they didn't go into the bedroom. Instead, a guard stepped forward to the bedroom door, opened the iron chain on the lock, and then called out the two younger women inside. 。Two young women came out quickly. When they saw the masked man at the front, both of them showed expressions of fear. 。"You are the handmaidens who accompanied the previous Empress" The leader of the men in masks asked coldly. 。Two young women glanced at each other, and one bolder of the two nodded and replied, "Yes, we are the maids who followed the previous Empress into the palace. Later, we were fortunate to be re-granted our status as concubines by the former Emperor." 。"The late emperor's bloodline is special, and the princes he gave birth to also inherited it. However, does the bloodline remain in the children born to these princes and ordinary women Can you tell" The masked man in black asked again. 。The Empress Dowager's clan also hailed from a mysterious family, their bloodline power ingrained in their very bones. Even after two generations had passed, there were still ways to verify it. But…" the young woman gritted her teeth and said, "If we find out, can you truly save us" "Just the two of you women Letting you leave wouldn't be difficult..." 。The masked man's voice was loud, but given his bearing, no one would doubt the credibility of his words. 。Two young women, as if they had made up their minds, immediately turned around and went back into the house. After taking out a small box, they came out. 。They had been notified in advance, so they had already prepared everything. 。They came before Yixing and opened the lacquered box, taking out a small vial of powder. Then they removed the wooden hairpin from their hair and pricked Yixing's wrist. As blood flowed out, they mixed the powder with his blood and sniffed it. 。Upon hearing this, their expressions changed drastically, with extraordinary joy in their eyes. "That's right, his body does indeed carry the bloodline of the former Empress!" "Oh How so" The masked man didn't seem to immediately accept their verification, but instead asked with suspicion. 。 The young woman also knew that she had to explain the principle clearly in order to convince people, so she said slowly: "This bottle contains peony pollen. The former imperial family had few descendants, but their bloodline was special. Once their blood mixed with peony pollen, a strange fragrance would be produced. This fragrance could attract insects within ten feet. Look at the ground around you, and you can see that what I say is true." 。If you like "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan", please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!(: b/23/23838/)ore, it's about the trust between him and me. 。Yīngsēng didn't understand emotions, so he only heard it vaguely, and could only stare at her with a dazed look. 。Qin Luoyan tugged at the cloak on her s...
